Your gift is used immediately towards the construction costs of a Habitat house. But, like an endowment gift, it is never used up: the mortgage payments for each house are used to help build the next house. The "multiplied effect" is powerful, as over time your gift will continue to provide housing for needy families.

As an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Green Mountain Habitat is completely autonomous. This means we are not funded by Habitat for Humanity International. In fact we donate 10% of the donations we receive to the national organization to help fund projects around the world. Please indicate on your donations that you want it to go to Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity so that it will be put to use here in Vermont.

We believe, however, that our "neighborhood" stretches far beyond our local community. Therefore, we contribute ten percent of our cash donations to help fund Habitat projects around the world. We currently support projects in South America.
